Profit Sharing.

The great soap manufacturing firm
Of Proctor & Gamble, of Cincinnati.
have entered Into an agreement with
their employees by which the latter are
to share in the profits OF the business
in addition to their wages This action
was voluntary or the part Of the firm
and without solicitation on the part Of
the employees. The EVENING Posi- of
that city refers to the new departure rs
follows:
The firm of Proctor 4 Gamble, their en-
ployes, the city of Cincinnati and the toiiers
OF tho VIII Die world are to be congratulated
upon the Inauguration By the firm above
mentioned of a practicable and mutually
beneficial scheme of proiit-sharing. which
includes all the small army of employees OF
this great soap-maling firm.
Proctor & Gamble ere to be congratulated
because they have bound their employees to
their interest; because they have sweeteaed
their own residue of profit by the conscious
ness that they receive it into unenvied pos
session; because they have the conscious
ness that they are not only helping TO clean
up the world OF mankind, but also contrib
uting to the cheerful and hopeful solution Of
the great problem Of profit distribution;
and because every lover of his race, as he
uses a cake of Ivory soap, viii give an APP
proving thought to the firm which has
Joined hands with its employees in the profit
of its production.
The employees are to be congratulated, be
cause, with no responsibility for the losses
Of tie enterprise and no capital at stake,
they Will first surely get their wages, and
Will thereafter get a suitable share Ia the
profits of the undertaking.
The city Of Cincinnati is TO be cOngratu-
lated. because il is to have an opportunity
to witness the practical operation and re
suits of prOfit-sharing Oh a very large scale;
because the example, right at home, is like
u to be followed by many, II not most
other industrial establishments of the city,
and because il Hugurs the introduction OF
a happier feeling on the part OF the manual
laborers OF the city, whose protection &cd
comfort should be the city's first care.
The toilers OF the whole world are to be
congratulated because this example shows
that the old heather doctrine OF ''let alone
+ Is being demolished, and that an era Of
mutually and fair dealing is at hand.
1t Is long since the papers Of Cincinnati
/ have been able TO chronicle so pleasant an
item Of local news. II is better to share
profits as we 20 along than to hoard them
{ till we die, and then bequeath them 70 the
/ public, and infinitely better than 70 trans
f init them unearncd TO our family descen-
dante.

an Indolent Organ.

When the liver is indolent, as it must
necessarily be when it fails TO secrete the
bile in sufficient quantities to meet the re
quirements of digestion and evacuation, it
should be set at work with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. The healthful stimulus
to activity impaired by this Incompatible
Alternative, speedily evinces itself in a de-
pa ture of the uncomfortable sensations in
the right side; the nausea; fur upon the
tongue; indigestion, and sick headache
consequent upon inactivity of the liver and
the diversion of the bile from its proper
channel. Irregularity of the bowels is
always and painlessly reformed by the
corrective indicated, which is infinitely TO
be preferred, both because it is safe and
more efiicacious to blue pill, calOmel and
drenching purgatives of every class. 1t
cures and prevents fever and ague, and
rheumatism.
